I'm at Parramatta which, compared to Perth, is near Orange.
Hello All,
I'm about to start buying componentry, etc based upon the threads on the forum to start my build. Are there any people who are working on these things that are based near Orange NSW and are willing to talk about there experiences?
Regards
Jason

Thanks Ivan,
you're right, it is all relative. I do get down there sometime. Would you mind if I could talk to you directly about Sydney based suppliers, etc?

Sure, but I'm a relative newbie myself, and I'm not sure I have actually gotten anything from a local Sydney supplier. (Oh, maybe a couple of things from McJING Tools)
I've sourced most things from eBay & other internet suppliers.
Hello Jason
Is Bathurst closer than Perth??? 8-)))
I have been fiddling with these machines since 2005, I don't get much from Sydney now except the odd section of Aluminum, I have also gone the CNC laser cut / powder coated way ( Orange Powder Coating do an awesome job!!!! ).
If you would like to speak to me PM me first with your private email addy and I'll shoot you a phone number, you are also welcome to visit but I am in the middle of building two new machines - one is sold so I am on a bit of a deadline.

Hey there,
I am in the wilds of Tarago which is near canberra. Right now I am looking for some things for a couple of old turret lathes that I have. I have a small one that takes 4C collets I think. I need an adapter to mount a chuck or chuck that takes 1.5 inch by eight threads. Anyone have any ideas.
Just found this very old thread. Are you still in Orange? Im in Bathurst. Would like to meet any other cncers in the area.
